Italian for “The Old Way,” ViA VECCHiA is a small plates Italian-inspired restaurant. We are situated within the heart of the Old Port in a historic brick and ivy-covered building overlooking cobblestone streets.

Stop by and enjoy our ravioli, filet, or other authentic dishes – but not before sipping on a delicious aperitivo to stimulate the appetite.

We also proudly host an extraordinary cocktail program combining old world sophistication and new world technique.

Our large wrap-around 20 seat bar is surrounded by velvet booths in a warm, energetic atmosphere. Before you leave, be sure to take an Instagram selfie in the bathroom mirror and tag us to have a chance of being featured on our page!

We had dinner here and enjoyed it so much! The menu has good choices, a nice wine list and a full bar. I had the ravioli and it was delicious. Really well made and a nice presentation. Started with the sour dough bread with 2 butters. Very good! The atmosphere is amazing!!! Such a great vibe. Our waitress was so good. It’s conveniently located making it easy to walk to or drive and street parking. I’d recommend making a reservation. There’s both tables and bar seating but it’s a popular place.

Dessert and tea only at the bar was lovely. The restaurant is beautifully decorated for the holidays. All staff were courteous and helpful. The pumpkin cheescake was excellent - dense and creamy. The peanut butter mousse with hard chocolate shell was delicious. The restaurant was bustling with diners being seated as we left at 9:30.

This place is beautiful inside and out !The food here was outstanding! We brought the kiddos and the waitress was so nice she even catered to the kids selections . The waitress brought over marinated veggies to start us off .For appetizers, my daughter ordered meatballs , my husband ordered the octopus and I had a acorn salad . All delicious. For dinner , I had a seasonal pasta dish with butternut squash , sausage and kale and my husband and kids had the pasta and pizza !Everything was phenomenal!!!! Highly recommend! Dessert and drinks were over the top!

So good! Great atmosphere, fresh-made food and expert staff. We were able to get in on a Friday night with no reservation after about a 45 min wait. Its a little pricey but worth it. Top-notch dining in Portland, ME.

Favorite place in Portland! This place is a whole vibe! They were also very helpful when we booked a surprise dinner for my parents wedding anniversary. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, and the food is outstanding. And even the bathrooms are stylish and clean. We always feel special when we come here.
